The Resurgency of Accipitridia is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by The High Council with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, barren, inhospitable landscape, and soft-spoken computers. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 6.459 billion Avians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kiyen. The average income tax rate is 97.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Accipitridian economy, worth a remarkable 2,243 trillion Otiderks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 347,267 Otiderks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Red Cross demand for body bags is rising while sutures go unused, when flight control tells pilots to alter course the usual reply is "No, YOU move!", citizens are now allowed to discuss whether The High Council is the greatest ruler ever or simply the greatest ruler of this generation, and pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Accipitridia's national animal is the Double-Headed Phoenix, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Accipitrid Orthodoxy.

Accipitridia is ranked 295,931st in the world and 117th in Institute of Cellulose for Most Stationary, with 1.13424927408 days.
